When he approached Ronald Reagan Airport around 9 pm on Wednesday (02:00 GMT on Thursday), the plane collided with a helicopter in the Seikorsky Black Hawk army.
Shortly before landing, the plane pilots were asked to change the corridors. While the plane was assumed at first on the main runway 1, the plane was asked to crash on the runway 33, which is much shorter. Air tracking maps showed that the pilots accepted this request and modified the plane.
Less than 30 seconds before a crash occurred, the air traffic officer asked the army helicopter if it could see the plane.
“Pat25 (Army Helicopter), do you have CRJ (US Airlines) on the horizon? The air traffic controller said at 8:47 pm:” Pat25, pass behind CRJ. “
After a short time, air traffic monitors can be heard, saying: “Craving, crashing, crashing, this is on alert.”
